Nicknames - What do you name your Pokemon? & Nickname Help!

ADDED IN: Ask for advice on nicknames here as well, please!

Ask forI have been looking around the area, and have yet to find a topic about Nicknaming Pokemon, not including "nickname help."
Whenever you catch a Pokemon, you get the chance to nickname your Pokemon. I was wondering if anyone else nicknames their Pokemon, or just chooses not to, and leave it at the Pokedex Name.
I usually choose not to nickname my Pokemon, except when it comes to Unknown, which I name according to their shape; Unknown A, Unknown !, and so on.

No legendaries, and Pokemon only below level 50 for battles. PM me for a battle.

I nickname most of my pokemon, sometimes I actually stop playing for half an hour just to make a cool nickname. I mostly use funny names, but lately I'm using "cool Japanese names".
Like I called my infernape Bokito, which is a Gorilla who escaped from the zoo a week before I started pokemon Diamond. But I called my Staraptor TomaHawX in my platinum playthrough.

Favourite pokémons: in my school i had pearl and all my friends had diamond because they thought that palkia is pink so its for girls ~QUAGSIRE FAN12??? pink is light red. lol ~Mr. BrickaBracka

I sometimes use "uber" Pokémon. I sometimes calculate stat values. I never use cheating devices. I sometimes try to breed my way to perfection (and maybe fail), and I care about natures to an extent. But I like my Pokémon the way they are, and treat them like individuals instead of brainless drones. If you use this philosophy, copy & paste this into your signature.
(Adapted from Tyranitar's philosophy.)

I've only ever nicknamed 2 pokemon. I named my shadow lugia XD001 just because I thought that name was just awesome, and I used to nickname all my torchics (when I was younger I always picked the fire type, and usually never leveled any other pokemon) Blaze, because there was a rumor that naming it that made it easier to find rare pokemon

Black and White 2 Return to Familiar Lands, except for the giant glacier.

I really wish they'd change the type of hidden power on the party pokemon page because the normal type icon looks boring. My special sweepers all have stupid looking Attack tabs on their information.

I have been playing Pokemon Gold recently, which I nicknamed my Cyndaquil; Charcoal. However, I once named a Caterpie; OWNAGE!!!!, and a Magikarp; GOD. Get it?

EDIT: Woot! I evolved in member status!

A shiny Dragonair should be whatever you find suited. Try to choose a nickname that resembles something you like. If you can't choose one, just name it Dragonair.
